President's Letter

May has slipped by in a flash - who else is working on their offering for the Annual Exhibition? I suspect I’m not the only one. The preview images look amazing, so we are expecting a great Annual & Awards Exhibition..

We had an inspiring meeting at Tania Hungerford’s studio and home last Saturday. The meeting was a friendly intimate chat - ending up by a warm fire with shared food and drink - lots of information was exchanged and we came out of it with more and greater friendships.

We all admired Tania’s beautiful carved works - we had the opportunity to find out about Tania's inspiration and technique - both are amazing!

Social Media

Special message from Aujke regarding media

• Don’t forget, if you have ANYTHING to share about your practice, your social media team is happy to share this on the ASV media!!!
• Email it to me, and or tag @sculptors_victoria in your instagram posts. (Click ‘collaborate’- I can share then)
• For the coming exhibition (ANNUAL) , I would love to have some help with creating social media posts!
• It’s not difficult to do: we work with a program that pre-plans posts, so you can do a fair amount of posts in one sitting. It is mostly about writing something fun and catchy (not long) and posting photos
• If you do a session at the shows , take some photos of works, visitors, and over all views, add them to the folder- and again, write something short. I have been doing this for a long time, so I can give you tips to do it efficiently, but I am sometimes busy, away or sick… so I just need some support!

This would benefit sculptors and the ASV with the public getting more information about sculptures and the artists. (editor’s comment)
